"No, Lin Ruoxue is just impervious to persuasion." The young man shook his head in dejection, "I've been strategizing every step of the way, and at one point Lin Ruoxue had actually become less cold towards me, but these past few months it seems like we've gone back to how things were before, no, actually, it's as if she's even more distant than before. She appears to be deliberately maintaining a distance."

"Oh, is that so." The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes in thought for a moment before speaking, "Everything has its cause and effect, have you found out what caused this?"

"I've thought about this issue, but no matter how much I ponder, there seems to be only one possibility, but that possibility also seems quite unlikely, so I am very confused."

The young man's eyes revealed a look of great perplexity.

"Tell me what you're thinking."

The middle-aged man picked up his teacup and took a shallow sip.

"It's about someone. I feel that since this person appeared, Lin Ruoxue's attitude towards me has changed."

"Who is he?"

The middle-aged man put down his teacup, his eyes suddenly darting two sharp beams.

"That's where the problem lies, he seems quite close to Lin Ruoxue, but in reality, he's just a driver for the Belle Corporation." The young man replied respectfully, "I don't think Lin Ruoxue would be interested in a driver, not even if she were blind."

"You make a good point, even if Lin Ruoxue agreed, the Lin Family wouldn't." The middle-aged man shook his head with a look of puzzlement in his eyes, "Did you investigate his background?"

"Of course I did, but what's eerie is that I couldn't find out anything."

"What do you mean you couldn't find out anything?"

The middle-aged man suddenly sat up straight from the back of his chair, leaning forward, staring at the young man.

"I had a friend at the city bureau check, but his records were a complete blank!"

"A complete blank?"

The middle-aged man stood from his chair, his brow furrowed. He slowly took out a Cuban cigar from a box on his desk and lit it.

"Do you know what marrying Lin Ruoxue would mean for our Liu Family?"

After a moment, the middle-aged man said leisurely.

"I understand, several areas of Belle Corporation's business have already caused a huge impact on our Liu Corporation." The young man nodded, "Especially the large amount of capital she has invested in pharmaceutical research and development."

"Indeed! Currently, most of our domestic pharmaceutical companies are producing generic drugs, but three years ago when this young lady first took over the Belle Corporation, she invested a huge sum in the research of innovative drugs, quite audacious indeed!"

The middle-aged man remarked wistfully, "Now, she has finally seen the returns, with the country providing strong support for innovative drugs, the rapid development of Belle Corporation's pharmaceutical division is foreseeable for the future."

"Furthermore, this young lady has also invested considerable funds in internet finance, artificial intelligence, and other areas, achieving some success. These are all industries with huge potential for the future!"

"Father, you're right, isn't this also the reason why we initially wanted Lin Ruoxue as a daughter-in-law for the Liu Family?"

This young man is none other than the heir to the Liu Family, Liu Qing, and the middle-aged man is his father, the current Family Head, Liu Yongyuan. Explore stories at empire

"If we could really marry Lin Ruoxue, we would definitely make a fortune!" Liu Qing continued, "But if Lin Ruoxue is truly unwilling, shouldn't we start preparing a second plan?"

"Qing'er, do you think I want you to marry Lin Ruoxue just to make some extra money?"

Hearing Liu Qing's words, the middle-aged man shook his head, a flicker of disappointment in his eyes.

"Why is that?"

Liu Qing was puzzled. His father wanted him to marry Lin Ruoxue, wasn't it because he valued the huge market potential and profits of Belle's various sectors in the future?

"Compared to Belle, what I value more is the person Lin Ruoxue. As long as she is there, no matter where she is, she will achieve something. Therefore, even without Belle, you must marry her."

Liu Yongyuan returned to his desk and sat down:

"Of course, we cannot give up on Belle either, just like you said, its future development is incalculable, especially under Lin Ruoxue's leadership. It might even rival our Liu Corporation in the coming ten or twenty years."

"I understand now, Father, I was too short-sighted."

"No, you still don't understand," Liu Yongyuan sighed slightly, "Do you know why I place so much importance on Lin Ruoxue and Belle?"

"Isn't it for the reasons you just mentioned?"

Liu Qing was puzzled again. Hadn't his father just explained it?

Wasn't it because of Lin Ruoxue's exceptional business talent and Belle's promising future prospects? What else could there be?

"If you still look at things this way, then you have deeply disappointed me!" Liu Yongyuan's eyes suddenly became severe, staring at Liu Qing like a tiger. "I really don't know what you have learned during your years abroad, how immature! How can I entrust the great Liu Family to you with this kind of thinking?"

Seeing his father so stern all of a sudden, Liu Qing broke into a cold sweat. In his memory, this was the first time his father had reprimanded him with such an attitude.

But he did not understand. How was he being immature?

"Please enlighten me, Father! I truly can't think of any other reasons."

Liu Qing looked at his father nervously, listening carefully. He knew there was a huge gap between him and his father and there was much more for him to learn.

"People say that Jiangnan has the Four Great Families, but do you really understand the true meaning behind these families?"

Liu Yongyuan leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes slightly, and then leisurely asked after a moment.

"Is it not because our four families are the most powerful?"

Liu Qing spoke cautiously. He had known since he was a child that their Liu Family was one of the Four Great Families of Jiangnan, an exalted existence, but he had never truly considered the profound meaning of these families.

"That is certainly due to strength. Although we, the Wu Family, the Lv Family, and the Yun Family are collectively known as the Four Great Families, each family has a notable position and strength in various industries. However, the situation for each family is different."

At this point, Liu Yongyuan's eyes opened again:

"But every family that has stood for a century has its roots, its foundation. Let's not talk about the others for now, do you know what the foundation of the Liu Family is?"

"The foundation?" Liu Qing chewed over the words, his mind seemingly understanding, yet not fully grasping the concept. He raised his head and looked earnestly at his father, "Please make it clear, Father."

"The foundation of our Liu Family lies in commerce!" Liu Yongyuan exhaled, continuing, "This is the real reason why I value Lin Ruoxue and Belle so much."

"In Jiangnan, our Liu Family's commercial strength is the most formidable. This is also the fundamental reason why we are among the Four Great Families! And by marrying Lin Ruoxue and taking control of Belle, it is equivalent to making our roots spread deeper and become more secure!"

"I understand now! Only by setting our roots deeply and ensuring a solid foundation can our Liu Family prosper and thrive!"

Liu Qing finally grasped the true meaning behind his father's intention for him to pursue Lin Ruoxue, and he couldn't help but admire his father's strategic thinking and earnest intentions!
